Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Buccaneers cashed the board's mistake on Taaffe: B.

Call it larceny. Michael Taaffe sat on the board until pick 159, and the Buccaneers did not need to be asked twice.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Stribling pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In pick 19 they get a lockdown presence outside, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Elijah Sarratt
Elijah Sarratt in the 52nd pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick83 Rnd3 Keith Abney II
A quiet steal in Round 3, Pick 19: Keith Abney II for less than the market said. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick120 Rnd4 Brian Parker II
The board fumbled Brian Parker II all the way to the Round 4 slot, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick159 Rnd5 Michael Taaffe
They robbed the room for Michael Taaffe here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick200 Rnd6 Tanner Koziol
A tight end of that caliber at No. 200 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick234 Rnd7 De'Zhaun Stribling
De'Zhaun Stribling in pick No. 234 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It fills a real need, too.
